Emily It was a little while later. They were all sitting in the pack house. The shock of what happened outside had settled everyone’s feelings for the moment. Well.. to a degree anyway. The urge to jump on top of Lorenzo was still there. Her brother sat at the other end of the huge room talking to the girl who was apparently his mate. Emily had been so surprised at the turn of events… but she was happy for him. Alan deserved this. All this mate business reminded her about Nick and Charlotte. She hadn’t brought that up but she wanted to tell Lorenzo. Lorenzo who had been oddly quiet since they’d come inside. He sent all the people that had come outside home. They’d gotten some coffee and sat down to talk. For someone who had been so vocal moments ago… he sure was quiet now. But the pain she was having had stopped. The hot flashes were gone. Clearly being close to him had ebbed all those feelings. Her wolf was calm too. She looked at Lo now, feeling awful that it took her deno
Lorenzo She was crying now. He kissed her forehead lightly. How could she begin to think he was upset over the fact Collins had found her other mate. This was a good thing in his eyes. He was only worried about the awkwardness it would cause for Emily. She was who he was worried about. She was the one he loved….had always loved…. would always love. They would probably all need to sit down and have a conversation at some point. But right now…. He just wanted to show her something. “Come on..” he said, grabbing her hand. “Can you shift now?” He asked her. She grinned at him and nodded. Lo pulled her over under a tree. He started getting undressed. Lucky for him he had worn a pair of shorts under his jeans that day … just for this exact reason. He took off his large sweater and handed to Emily. She smiled at him. He knew she had stolen his T-shirts and liked to wear them. He didn’t mind… he actually loved it. If her clothes would’ve fit even one of his arms… he would’ve
Emily Emily opened her eyes and stretched. A smile graced her face. She was happy. She didn’t remember the last time she’d woken up every day without worrying about something. But that’s what had happened every single day since she had been in the Crow pack. It had been a week since they’d arrived. A week since Lorenzo declared his love for her and showed her the house he’d built for them to live in. A week since the mate bond pulled them together like nothing she’d ever experienced before. Not even when she met Nicklaus. The house was as breathtaking on the inside as it was the outside. The fireplace alone made her gasp when she had seen it. The kitchen was huge. All the beautiful wood and logs made it cozy and the perfect place to cook meals for her family. Her family … she thought. Lo was her family. There were stainless steel appliances all brand new. Lo had told her they’d just arrived that day and been installed. Of course they needed furniture… but he wanted her
EmilySo the rest of the week she has been busy with her new horse. She had ordered a saddle and everything she needed. Lo already had saddles there she could use for now, but she wanted a special one. She named her horse ‘Storm’ because of his beautiful coloring…..he reminded her of the clouds right before a blizzard. She couldn’t wait to show her kids and Andrew and take them on rides. All in all, she was happy.. content… and at peace. The people here were genuinely so kind and polite to her. Lo introduced her to everyone as his mate … which made tingles erupt on her body every time he said the word. They were happy for him, and thankful for her. She didn’t have to constantly be looking over her shoulder, or worry about what someone might be cooking up to hurt her or her family. The entire pack was filled with good people. She found it ironic that some wolves, like Nicklaus, looked down on The Crow pack because it was made up mostly of ex-rogues. But these people weren’t rogues
Emily Emily was thrilled to find that she and Collins could easily talk. And possibly one day be just as close as Emily and Maeve were. Maeve, who would be going into labor any day now. She and Collins had spent the entire afternoon together talking. Emily learned that Collins had some Native American blood in her. Apparently her father’s mother was Cree. And her mother’s father was too. That’s how they’d met each other. A lot of the wolves came from similar background. She herself had some Cherokee blood. Hester’s father was Cherokee. But if you followed all werewolves bloodline it usually always led back to Native American origins. They just usually weren’t so close. She also found out what had happened to Collins in college. So Emily shared her experience as well. “Goddess!” Collins had said when Emily told her everything that had happened with Nick and Raleigh. But Collins experience had been just as bad, maybe even worse. Because it wasn’t just her boyfriend that assau
LorenzoThe past few days had been the best in his life. His pack was thriving… he was catching up on his work finally …. And Emily. Emily was here. She was leaving soon though to go back home for a while. He hated it … but she had children to see to. She would be coming back in no time. Alan and Collins were going with her as well. He and Collins had sat down and had a conversation the day before. He told her he hoped she understood about everything. How he had always belonged to Emily, no matter who else came along. She was more than fine with it though. Apparently like him, once Alan showed up any residual feelings she had diminished. He was glad of that. She would be good for Alan .. he knew. And vice versa. Alan had always been like a brother to him.. and soon that bond would become real. He was going to ask Emily to marry him. Tonight. He knew she wanted to wait for her divorce to finalize before they really started anything. Or at least anything physical…. She was
Emily She had spent the entire afternoon with her horse, Storm… riding him and brushing and feeding him. She loved that animal already.. she had been telling the kids and her dad all about him during the phone calls. She got word that Lorenzo wanted her to meet him at the house soon. But she wanted to run back to her room at the pack house and shower first. Her crazy purple hair was still wet we she started out. She figured Lo had wanted to ask her something about the furniture or some of the outside work that the builders were finishing up. She had been in jeans and boots all day while riding so she wanted to dress comfortably. She threw on a long sleeved fitted cropped workout shirt and some sweat pants with her tennis shoes. She grabbed her big puffer coat to head out the door when she stopped. Her breathing got ragged as she looked down at her clothes. This was the exact outfit she had on in the safe room…. With Nick….. with Raleigh…She threw her coat down and immediately
Emily The kiss turned frantic, hungry..Emily was clawing her way up Lorenzo’s body. He was so tall she literally tried climbing up. But then he stopped her…“Wait .. I had a whole speech…” he said. She grinned at him. “Okay. Let’s here it.” She said smiling. Lo got back down on one knee. He took her hand and kissed it. Lo down on a knee was still about as tall as Emily he was so huge. She grinned at him waiting. “Emily Caroline Elkwood. I have loved you my entire life. Even before the mate bond, through it and after it. I’ve always loved you. You’re the best part of every day…. you’re the best part of me. You’re my reason. You have the kindest soul of anyone I’ve ever known and the biggest heart there ever was. As bad as it sounds, I’m glad that rogue pack took mine over so I got to come live with you.”Emily had tears in her eyes as he continued. “You’re the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid my eyes on … but you don’t even realize it. You’re funny. But you don’t know t
Emily Her breathing was erratic as she watched Lo watching her. He sat up on his knees and grabbed both of her ankles, yanking her back down. She gasped. “Lo…. What are you doing?” She asked him.. reaching up and touching the mark that was still on her neck. He growled. “I know you want to wait Emily. But I’ve got to touch you. I want to touch you. I … NEED .. to touch you.” He ground out. Her body shivered at his words. Want and need exploded as she released a small moan without meaning to. Lorenzo sniffed the air. He looked at her. She knew he could smell her as his eyes began glowing, his wolf coming forward. She made a pained sound then as he ran his hands up her legs and stopped at the elastic of her pants. Before she knew what was happening .. he had jerked them down to her ankles. She gasped. “Lo….” She said. He growled at her. She plopped her head back down… no longer being able to hold it up as he crawled slowly up to her face. He looked at her and smirk
